So far so nutty! Could they find a woman LESS suited to switch with Mrs. Fitness?! It seems to me like this could be dangerous for the woman swapping with her.

Can the heavyset woman be anymore hysterical? When she reunited with her hubby she acted as if she was just released from hostage takers.

When Dina returned home, her kids acted as if they wished she had forgotten the way home.

Wouldn't you? They get to sleep until they wake up and not do anything at all! The only thing they missed was their sports.

3. "RE: watching the 11/03 episode"
i was so annoyed at MR. fitness...what an arrogant jerk. he was soo smirky the whole time...
"look at me me me"...i am sooo athletic...i am so rich...." and looking down at dawne...because she was "just fat"...

and then if that wasn't bad enough he wouldn't even follow the game rules that HE HAD TO HAVE SIGNED UP FOR>>>what gives?
do the contestants not read the rules before they take their wives away???

i don't know...i was glad to see the boys start some exercise program...they just needed a little push...and it was sweet in the end.
i guess the overachiever family have it all because AHHHH they are overachievers!
i have so much to learn...

At the end when the Smith's were crying and professing their love for each other, the Weiner's (how fitting) sat there and had this look like they just smelled a big pile of steamy poo.
As hysterical and dramatic Dawne was, her family seemed the most genuine. The Weiner's lacked warmth as a family and seemed to not be connected with each other.
Personally if I had been Dawne, I would have been on the verge of kicking Mr Weiner's arse for being such a judgemental jerk.

I'm all for eating healthy and keeping fit but he treated her like she was a lesser being for being overweight as did Dina with the Smith family.

I think the show should get couples that are more average than the Weiner's and the NY princess.

I like having the major contrasts because it is causing some positive changes. I thought seeing those two little boys start enjoying sports was great -- what a self-esteem builder. Granted, Dina was way over the top, but Dawn was a bit too. But she ended up being more real. I would have laughed my *** off if she tried the circle thing with Dina's family. Can you imagine them sitting around and saying positive things about each other.

True, the show wouldn't be fun if you didn't have a major contrast.

What have been a hoot is the Weiner's or the princess swapping with someone living in a trashy trailer park or the projects.

Let's fry us up some Twinkies!

I fully expected her to try the circle thing with her switch family. I was surprised she didn't.

I found Dawn to be a little too weepy, but you're right: she came off much more real and sincere. Dina lives in a home where emotions are labled depression and I'm quite certain it is expected that she supress her natural emotional reactions because her husband disapproves. Those kids may be more physically self-disciplined, but I fear for their future wives. An emotionally repressed husband can be a nightmare for a family.

What got me laughing the hardest was Dina tearing up during this and turned away from her Mr. Wiener so he couldn't see her being sensitive.

Actually, when the Smiths were professing their love for each other my husband pointed out that Dina was crying. I looked up and, sure enough, she was looking away with tears in her eyes. I have a feeling she wished, deep inside, that her husband who "doesn't do depression very well" (as if all displays of emotion are depression!) would act so lovingly toward her.

Poor woman. She probably does a good portion of what she does to please that creep of a husband she has. Heaven knows what he's like if he's not pleased with her work. I shudder to think.

I'm so mad! My TV was all fuzzy last night and when it finally cleared up, I only got to see the last 20 minutes.

I do have to say, it was good that the lazy family took their new fitness routines seriously, they needed it and seemed to really enjoy it.

Mr. Fitness was an arse!! What a jerk! It's rediculous how these families all think that only the swapped one should live by new rules! ... oh and did you see that six-pack on Mrs. Fitness??

9. "RE: watching the 11/03 episode"
I agree...you could see the emotional detachment in the Fitness family. Like when mama fitness came home, the welcome from the kids was considerably less warm than that of the Smiths when their mama came home. Mr. Fitness was so arrogant and smug I hope he realizes how he came off. At the end when Dana was tearing up it was almost as if she felt she was missing out on something...like the same emotional connection with her husband. All she could mutter at the end was "I love you" I wish they would show more footage from the couples meeting at the table. I think they could stretch this show out to 2 episodes per family like Trading spouses does.

God, is everyone in Southern California a rich and arrogant jerk? It seems every California family on Wife Swap and Trading Spouses has been uptight pretty faces who lack personality. I liked it when the Florida dad was saying how sick he is of hearing about how wonderful it is there, and that people don't like Californians for that very reason.

The fact that Dina went through The other wife's closet just to see what size she wore, was so inappropriate! Her comment about not wanting to ever be "that size" was so RUDE! She is a self centered, egotistical B*TCH. Dina is one ugly woman! Her fake boobs need to go.

16. "RE: Dina's RUDE comment"
While i am not as large as Dawn, I am a woman of some size. Speaking as a non-skinny woman I have to say her comment seemed extremely offensive because it showed the natural bias against fat people in this country, but she wasn't alone in making comments about the other woman's size. Dawn made the comment about Dina's clothes covering one boob (I think that is what she said).

Dina's comment just seemed so much more judgmental. I am quite certain that Dawn never wanted to become as large as she is either.

18. "RE: watching the 11/03 episode"
For some reason I find these wife swapping shows strangely compelling.

Anyway. I think both wives were emotionally damaged and each compensated in their own way. California wife did it in the way Californians do. Her comment that there are no fat people in California is kinda true. I lived there for 2 years. I float around a size 16 (boohoo) and I was the fattest person I knew! haha

Dawn compensates by eating and watching TV. Both mom's want validation of their coping mechinisms by everyone in the family doing the same thing they are. In Dawn's family it was especially pernicious because there were two young boys who should have been tearing up the neighborhood sports fields with that amazing energy teenage and near teenage boys can have when they are interested in something. It is not natural for them to sit in front of a TV all day. Their dad knew this but didn't want to confront Dawn on her parenting. When the kids got moving, they liked it. Dad liked it too. At least Dana got the Dad to realize he had basically abandoned the boys.

These shows are very interesting.....

I was raised in Northern California and while people in California tend to be less obese than people from other parts of the country, Dina's attitude is not one of the average Californian. She lives in Southern California, which to many northerners, is a different state all together.

Her rudeness and tackiness is not what everyone in California is like.
